re 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full ball. if you are playing a 1/2 ball shot for instance, do you aim right down the centre of the cue ball and the cue at the 1/2 ball point ? I find that a lot of my shots go too straight and miss the pocket. it sounds stupid but can you help. also I have a habit of bouncing the cue on the rail when playing shots and failing to make proper contact with the cue ball. what causes this ?

neilmaxman) 2 reasons to miss a pot - didn't 'see the potting angle' or stroke error (alignment, wrist flip, head movement, elbow flash, etc) Often one does not know the cause, especially if this has been a pot that is regularly missed so there all kinds of negative thoughts. If you use billard cue balls, simply put the dot cue ball on the spot aligned so the the dot shows the correct potting angle. Miss & its obvious it was the stroke & U get to train your brain to see the correct angle.
